Excellent response time, but then, I already knew that. Applied the update from the emailed link and can actually see the data now. Backfill worked fine too for all the three symbols I use from this family: CORN, SOYB & WEAT. Many thanks.

Thanks for looking into this so fast. So they want something like CORN-SMART-STK or what? What is the unambiguous form of the symbol? Anyhow, I applied the update, after which MT says: Unable to start Streamer IB. I have emailed the complete error message to support. Also when updating, I could not see an option to update all files. The Updates were only for IB and TDAmeritrade. Geo

I am using TWS Build 949 3a. TWS shows data for symbols CORN, WEAT, SOYB and I am able to chart it in TWS. MT cannot backfill or get any data for these symbols. Mouse-over the symbol name shows the correct description in the portfolio panel, so I am guessing there is no symbology issue with IB API. Odd that these three symbols are from the same ETF family (Teucrium). Any suggestions?

I think CMEGroup changed the roll-over time to 5:00 CST which starts a new contract date. Even though Open Outcry closes at 3:15, Globex close is at 4:15CST. So for data gathering purposes, Globex RTH is from 8:30CST to 4:15CST including the 15 minute time out after 3:15. RollOver at 5:00CST. Is there an easy way to move the Holidays list to a custom time frame setting? TIA GS

Got the futures symbols information I was looking from another post here. Still looking for Alerts, if implemented in the beta yet.
